Study summary

Several studies suggested that ARDS may have important adverse effects on renal function, but few studies have specifically addressed the risk factors of AKI and its impact on the outcome in theses patients.

Read the detailed description

Acute respiratory distress syndrome is considered an acute diffuse lung injury in which an inciting inflammatory event is followed by hypoxemic respiratory failure. Despite advances in the management of ARDS, the mortality remains high. The LUNG SAFE study reported that hospital mortality was 34.9% in patients with mild ARDS, 40.3% in patients with moderate ARDS, and 46.1% in patients with severe ARDS. Understanding the prognostic factors in ARDS is essential for decreasing its mortality. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and challenging medical condition in critically ill patients, in which there is a sudden renal impairment during hours to days and it is known to be associated with increased mortality .Other adverse outcomes associated with AKI includes chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high cardio-vascular complications. The incidence of AKI in hospitalized adults was reported to be 22% with a mortality rate of 24%. The severity of AKI ranges from stage 1 to stage 3 according to The KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) system, based on decreased urine output over time, or increases in serum creatinine, or both.

Groups and cohorts

  • Adult Patients who met the diagnosis of ARDS

    ARDS patients were followed for the development of AKI during their ICU stay

    Diagnostic Test: kidney function tests - urine output

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testkidney function tests - urine output

    AKI was classified based on the worst of either creatinine or urine output criterion as follows: Stage I 1.5-1.9 times baseline OR ≥0.3 mg/dl increase in the serum creatinine, OR urine output \<0.5 ml/kg per hour for 6 to 12 hours. Stage II 2.0-2.9 times baseline increase in the serum creatinine OR urine output \<0.5 ml/kg per hour for ≥12 hours. Stage III 3.0 times baseline increase in the serum creatinine OR increase in serum creatinine to ≥4.0 mg OR urine output of \<0.3 ml/kg per hour for ≥24 hours, OR anuria for ≥12 hours OR the initiation of renal replacement therapy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. development of AKI

    AKI was classified based on the worst of either creatinine or urine output criterion as follows: Stage I 1.5-1.9 times baseline OR ≥0.3 mg/dl increase in the serum creatinine, OR urine output \<0.5 ml/kg per hour for 6 to 12 hours. Stage II 2.0-2.9 times baseline increase in the serum creatinine OR urine output \<0.5 ml/kg per hour for ≥12 hours. Stage III 3.0 times baseline increase in the serum creatinine OR increase in serum creatinine to ≥4.0 mg OR urine output of \<0.3 ml/kg per hour for ≥24 hours, OR anuria for ≥12 hours OR the initiation of renal replacement therapy.

    Time frame: 30 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. ICU length of stay.

    development of AKI affects the ICU stay

    Time frame: 30 days

  2. hospital length of stay.

    development of AKI may affect the length of stay in hospital

    Time frame: 90 days

  3. Hospital mortality

    the effect of development of AKI on the mortality of ARDS patients

    Time frame: 90 days
